Leica IIIc  408589

This Leica IIIc (Silver), #408589, is in great condition with minor handling wear. I rate it cosmetically a (9+). The camera is mostly functional; film advances properly, the viewfinder is clear, the shutter is accurate at all speeds above 30. The rangefinder is accurate, although the rangefinder patch is a bit dim. This camera includes a body cap. Please refer to the photos for details.
